As part of this week’s special series on living with your senior cat, Today pet lifestyle contributor and Animal Fair editor-in-chief Wendy Diamond shares tips on improving life for your mature cat:
This may seem like obvious advice but frequent trips to the veterinarian’s office can keep your cat feeling young and vibrant, and could possibly save their lives.
Many people attribute behavioral changes in older cats exclusively to the aging process, and while some elderly cats will naturally slow down, this isn’t always the case. Always consult a medical professional when your cat acts odd and never assume that new, altered, or strange behavior is something that a pet parent can turn a blind eye towards.
By staying on top of your cat’s health you are infinitely more likely to catch a potential problem before your cat has the worst of it!
